Hello

Well I finally got around to building a dedicated PVR (achem my first attempt)

quick specs
Asus a8v-mx
amd 3500
512 meg ram
ati 9000 pro 128meg (not all in wonder)
Hauppauge PVR 150 with ir blaster
160gig raid 0

I installed all the Hauppauge software (perhaps a mistake) and installed GB-PVR and followed the install/config guide.

When I open GB-PVR everything seems nice it records and does timeshift well I can change the channels and it blasts my sat box fine. I have the channel listings all good to go.

However the main issue is the ATI tv out. Currently I have the CAT 5.12 CCC drivers installed. I hooked up an s-video conntection to the "video out" on the ati card and hook this directly to my TV this produced (after reboot) grey scale image that flickered the image of my PC.

I then found an s-video to RCA/yellow composite connector and tried that with the same result just different flicker and interlace. When I say flicker I mean you cant read anything just barley make out its windows/gb-pvr.

Should I be using ATI tray tools ? I am also not convinced I have the correct connector for the ATI 9000 PRO. It has a sqaure then 4 pins then 3 pins where a normal s-video has the square then 2 stagered pins then 2 pins closer.

A normal s-video cable fits fine...

A special ATI componet (red green blue) cable doesnt fit.

Anyone know what connector I need or what I am doing wrong?

It sounds a bit to me like you have your card in PAL mode, and your tv set is an NTSC tv. Or vice versa. That would give the symptoms you describe.
I'm not always right

If your trying to use the s-video to rca out and you get the B&W picture, it could be the s-video to rca adapter causing it. I had the B&W picture problem before with my Volari V3 video card which was due to the fact that the manufacturer didnt enclose the proper tv out adapter. They should send you another adapter for no charge if you request it.

also in the sharpness settings there is a b/w setting just after 'more' sharp..
[eg.selections= less,normal,more,then b&w]
if those other things don't solve it..
[but it sounds like that is right on re-read,PAL will make video roll on NTSC]
btw,does your ATI tv-out fill the screen without overscan?
every one i've ever seen left a black bar at bottom,totally unacceptable...
and can't alter position,etc in overscan mode..Sad
[other than that, they look great]

Well I will have a look at the settings tonight.

I also came across an old Geforce FX5200 that I can use.

Now that I am reading about the ati's output on a good day having issues with overscan (black bar at bottom)

Is the FX5200 worth using? It appears at least to have a standard s-video out connection.

If you get color from that one and not from the other, I'd say it would be worth it =)
